Please recommend a fool-proof natural finish for cherry

I’m going to make a keepsake boxes out of some very nice QS cherry. I’d like a finish that makes the most of the the natural beauty of these boards. Could any recommend a fool-proof finishing schedule?

For what it is worth, these are the things I have on hand, but I’ll be happy to buy others if that is what it takes:

It depends on what you mean by foolproof. Cherry has a habit of blotching when you put finish on it. The least blotchy finish I ever got on cherry was using gel polyurethane. As to whether that looks natural enough is something of a matter of opinion.

I would suggest you do samples with the material you have, I’m sure one of them will meet your needs.
My preference is Lacquer, no stains. Cherry will darken in time with the finish on it.Best wishes Lynn

There is no FOOLPROOF method with Cherry. Cherry can and does unfortunately blotch.That being said, there are lots of good recommendations above..But nothing is absolutely foolproof. Like all blotchy woods it depends on the wood. Cherry blotches very easily.
